Botany Bay Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 NOTE: The key of D is my own personal choice.

NOTE2: It's quite fastforward, I'd recomend lissening to a youtube-cover to get the right tempo.

Note 3: I'm not really sureif the "E4" is called a E4, but you grab it like this:

Intro

D Bm G A D

D x4

Chorus

DFarewell to your bricks anBmd mortar, fGarewell to your Adirty lDies

DFarewell to your gangers aBmnd gang planks and to hEsus4ell with your overtime

 The Dgood ship RagaBmmuffin she's Glying Aat the DQuay

 For to tDake oul Pat with his sBmhovel on his back

  Bm---->

To the shores of Botany Bay

D x4

(Away........)

Same thing, but different Lyrics:

Verse 1

I'm on my way down to the Quay where the ship at anchor lies

To command a gang of navvys that they told me to engage

I thought I'd drop in for a drink before I went away

For to take a trip on an emigrant ship

To the shores of Botany Bay

Chorus

(Farewell to your... etc etc)

Verse 2

The boss came up this morning, he says "well Pat, you know

If you don't get your navvys out, I'm afraid you'll have to go"

So I asked him for my wages and demanded all my pay

For I told him straight, I'm going to emigrate

To the shores of Botany Bay

Chorus

Verse 3

And when I reach Australia I'll go and look for gold

There's plenty there for the digging of, or so I have been told

Or else I'll go back to my trade and a hundred bricks I'll lay

Because I live for an eight hour shift

On the shores of Botany Bay

Chorus

 The End! (on D)
